HD 7950 OC'd 2013 benchmarks?

Trojan Horse · 26 Aug 2013 at 12:32

Hi,

I have a 6950 and want to see the benchmarks of the HD 7950 OC'd to a standard clock.

I tried looking around for benchmarks, but they are all old and have awful frame rates.... probably with the old drivers or something.

Can anyone give me an uptodate benchmark?

Games @ 1920 x 1080, titles such as Skyrim, BF3, and things

Do you play any games with built in benchmarks?

What would you consider a standard OC clock? I'd say around 1050-1100mhz.

surely theres some vids on youtube showing stock 7950 vs oc 7950?

Some easy OC for someone like me could do.

Nah I don't care for vids as I want graphs or charts or something I can view in comparison. It's so I can use it to compare v my 6950 OC'd, or 670 or 680.

Anyone can OC a 7950. You don't need a degree in advanced physics

1100mhz is probably a good average OC representation and should be easy to achieve unless you have a turd of card.

Any more on the list apart from BF3/Skyrim?

wazza300 · 26 Aug 2013 at 14:20

how does the 7950 @ 1100mhz stackup against 670 or 680? just wondered

Uncle Petey · 26 Aug 2013 at 14:30

Dunno, but they're probably much of a muchness. I'd want 1150-1200 tbh.

No I mean an average OC clock... I know anyone can OC!

E.g 1100 such as you mention

It's with the MSI Twin Frozr 3, You reckon I could get 1200?

Uncle Petey · 26 Aug 2013 at 14:39

There are no guarantees with overclocking.
I used 1100 as example of what most cards should be able to do on average. Many will go higher, some won't.

Yeah thats my question coz the 670 4gb is 200 atm and 680s go for 250 or something and same with 7970

i wish there were some nerds at anand tech or some nerd website that would fulfil my nerdy needs

Aye a 7950 at 1100/1500 = stock 7970 ghz performance.

1100 on the core is a good average overclock. Most 7950's will do 1100 no trouble. Even mine does it and i have a stinker.

wazza300 · 26 Aug 2013 at 14:55

7970's aren't bad

have mine at 1150mhz core 1700mhz memory for my 24/7 clocks,the msi tf3 looks good at the current £180 price

cant speak for NVidia but the above should match if not beat it,cant speak for the 7950 either

David Bisset · 26 Aug 2013 at 15:47

I just had quick look at the firestrike thread and it seems to show the 7950 pretty well mixed in with the 670s and 680s... that of any interest OP?

Trojan Horse · 26 Aug 2013 at 15:51

It could be..

7950 is by far cheapest, about £40-60 (with games etc) so I am purchasing a good card and want to know if I should get 7950 over the over two cards

chris-82 · 26 Aug 2013 at 16:12

I have my 7950 @ 1200/1600 for 24/7 can get 1250/1840 max
In bf3 single player I see 120+ fps minimum,in multiplayer I see 92-105fps
This is all on ultra.
Hope that helps can run a bench on sleeping dogs for you does bf3 have a benchmark?

Trojan Horse · 26 Aug 2013 at 18:36

Nice scores, can you run an FPS benchmark with traps or anything coz I wanna see if it beats 670, 680 and 7970

Can u play bf3 in 3d please.. Also scores for other games you play?

Everything will help as I just need info thanks

Uncle Petey · 26 Aug 2013 at 18:37

It's not that simple.

I had a gigabyte 7970 Ghz edition in my old rig, had that @1200/1600.
I now have a His 6950 flashed to 6970 @950/1375..
The difference in performance between the two is night and day. especially in the games you mention.
Difference between a clocked 7950-670-680 is small, so much so that i doubt you'd notice at all really unless your benching.
Personally i'd go with the 7950 or 670 if your looking to upgrade now, or, wait until the end of October and see what the new 9*** series from AMD is like, if anything it'll drive prices of last gen cards down and you'll get a better deal.
